The centennial mansion 'Xiangyuan' in Shantou, now a piano museum, opened its doors to a desolate emptiness

The centennial mansion 'Xiangyuan' 🎹 in Shantou, a piano museum, celebrated its opening day 🎹 This century-old house was once the site of the piano museum and a witness to the history of Shantou. Now, it stands empty, with only the name 'Xiangyuan 1928' remaining, evoking a sense of the relentless passage of time. 🚪 It had always been closed off, as if forgotten by time. However, on Christmas Eve, during a jazz party, I was fortunate to encounter this old western-style house from the Republic of China era on its opening day. Next to 'Binyuan', the now deserted 'Xiangyuan' seemed particularly desolate. 📸 Yet, despite its faded glory, this small town's historical building still reflects the essence of the city's culture...
